Begomoviruses are numerous and geographically widespread viruses that cause
devastating diseases in many crops. Monopartite begomoviruses are frequently associated …

Here, we describe a tripartite circular single-stranded (ss) DNA mycovirus, named Fusarium
graminearum gemytripvirus 1 (FgGMTV1). The genome of FgGMTV1 comprises three …

Hemipteran insects transmit viruses when infesting plants, during which vectors activate
salicylic acid (SA)-regulated antiviral defenses. How vector-borne plant viruses circumvent …

Small RNAs (sRNA) are a significant group of gene expression regulators for multiple
biological processes in eukaryotes. In plants, many sRNA silencing pathways produce …

Fusarium verticillioides is one of the important mycotoxigenic pathogens of maize since it
causes severe yield losses and produces fumonisins (FBs) to threaten human and animal …

Geminiviruses constitute the largest group of known plant viruses and cause devastating
diseases and economic losses in many crops worldwide. Due to limited naturally occurring …

Betasatellites (DNA β) are circular ssDNA molecules that are associated with monopartite
geminiviruses and exert a positive effect on the viral infection. Betasatellites encode one …

Cassava is a major crop in Sub-Saharan Africa, where it is grown primarily by smallholder
farmers. Cassava production is constrained by Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which is …

A begomovirus isolated from Malvastrum coromandelianum and tomato originating from
